MIAMI, August 8, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Miami-based EdTech company TEDU has successfully raised its Seed-1 funding round, securing $2 million led by Cofounders Capital, an early-stage seed fund focused on B2B software ventures in the Southeast United States. The round also included participation from Greenwood Cavalier and angel investors passionate about supporting underrepresented students.

TEDU's Learning Support System (LSS) integrates all university-provided academic support offerings, such as tutoring, writing, academic coaching, and supplemental instruction programs, into a unified system. It leverages live analytics and real-time student data to deliver personalized, proactive support at scale. The data captured by TEDU is leveraged to enhance curriculum and campus operations for future students. By automating program management, TEDU significantly reduces operational costs while boosting student success rates.

Since its launch, TEDU has quickly garnered industry attention, partnering with universities across the United States and Canada to leverage its innovative LSS. The capital infusion will be used to enhance the company's sales efforts, drive strategic marketing initiatives, and further develop its proprietary technology to expand product offerings.

"In the evolving landscape of higher education, Academic Support stands out as the next substantial growth opportunity,” said Cofounders Capital founding partner David Gardner. "We've long recognized the untapped potential and need for a solution, and we are excited to invest in an impressive tailor-made platform for higher education institutions that is scaling rapidly." 

This funding marks a significant milestone for TEDU, propelling the company into an exciting phase of growth. TEDU was founded by Nicolo Bates, leveraging his extensive experience in enterprise technology and a deep passion for educational innovation.
